Why Are You In Such A Hurry?
There’s a lot of advice out there on how to best succeed on Medium.
Other writers who have gained some traction on the platform, built a following of readers, and made some good money doing it are happy to share their insights, tell you the steps they followed, and break down exactly how you can also “be successful.”
I’m not saying these kinds of articles aren’t helpful.
In fact, I read them all the time, because they interest me. I probably read at least two or three of them every day on Medium. They seem to jump out at me as I’m browsing through the thousands of articles waiting to be read. In an endless sea of headlines, this type always stands out to me, like somebody’s taken a pink highlighter to it to prepare it for me.
I love to learn from the experiences of others. I love to see what’s possible, and I love to know that this type of success does exist, after all. These people are my proof. Their stories are evidence that what I’ve been dreaming of is actually within reach.
It gives me confidence that writing what I want for a living is not a pipe dream! Thousands of people are doing it right now. Thousands of writers make a full-time living out of waking up every day as their own boss, writing about what interests them, and publishing it for the world to do with as it may.
